Homeless man says he was threatened

Athens-Clarke police are looking for a homeless man known only as "Marshall" who they say pulled a knife on another homeless man while he slept near North Avenue on Saturday.

Marshall allegedly roused the sleeping man about 7:30 p.m. looking for a fight, police said. The man told Marshall to leave, and Marshall allegedly pulled a knife, threatening to kill the victim. The victim pulled out his own knife, and Marshall ran away, according to police.

The victim told police he was tired of being afraid of Marshall, and that he had reported a similar incident earlier in the month, police said.
